Charlie "Choo-Choo" Justice, who is expected to carry the mail today against the Navy at Annapolis. The little Asheville tailback flash was held under wraps last week and is ready to shoot the works against the Middies this afternoon. Highsmith Started As Center For 1 ar Heels Under Wolf By Ira Rothbaum Each summer, before the war, the University of Georgia held a coaching clinic at Athens and two of the attending coaches were picked to lead teams in the annual high school game between the North and South Georgia teams. In the 1941 game, Ray Wolf was picked as Coach of the South Georgia team and Chan Highsmith was his starting center. All the players liked genial Kay and he could have brought the whole team up to Chapel Hill with him but he was a guest of the Georgia coaches and made no attempts to ap proach any of the Georgia boys about coming here. Harriers Meet Middie Squad At Annapolis Runners Go Today In Season Opener Seeking revenge for two years of de feat to the Naval Academy harriers, the Carolina cross country team will meet the Middie outfit this morning at eleven o'clock on the Annapolis cross country course. Coach Dale Eanson has visions of two previous years, 1942 and 1946 when the Navy harriers rose to destroy his perfect season's record, and he is set to blot out those reverses today. Running in the meet for the Tar Heels will be Jack Milne, Julian Mac- Kenzie, Jimmy Miller, Mark Burnham, Alvin Smith, Sam Magill, Frank Har dy, and Walt Francis. Navy always fields a strong squad of cross country men, and the meet is expected to be close from start to fin ish. The Annapolis men are always ough to lick on their home field, when hey are performing before the home folk. Immediately after the Annapolis meet, the harriers are planning to move down to Baltimore to take in the Navy-Carolina football battle, which comes as the final event in a full card of Middie-Tar Heel encounters.

On the right is right end George Sparger, from Mt. Airy, N. C. Then one day in early September a big hulking boy walked into Ray Wolf's office in Woollen Gymnasium. Eay was Head . Coach of the Caro lina football team at the time and the big fellow had hitch-hiked up from Brunswick, Georgia to see him about playing ball for the Tar Heels. Wise old Kay didn't need any convincing and Highsmith began his brilliant football career at Chapel Hill. He played almost 60 minutes of every game as a frosh and Tatum, the frosh coach, tagged him as the sopho more to watch in 1942. Tatum saw a lot of Chan the next September. Wolf had gotten a com mission in the Navy and Tatum was elected head coach here. Highsmith won the starting center berth and stayed there for almost 60 minutes of every game the Tar Heels played that season. In December, when the mythi- REHDER'S CHAPEL HILL FLOWER SHOP Opposite Post Office Corner FLY!! WITH THE SEASONS Douglas 4 engine Douglas 2 engine Cessna 2 engine Resort Airlines, Inc. Southern Pines, N. C. cal "all" teams came out, Chan re ceived honorable mentoin on a couple national polls and was picked on the first team of the All-Southern Con ference aggregation. In June of 1943 he joined the Mer chant Marine and was in the Mari time service for 29 months. He was mustered out as second mate. Most of his time was spent overseas and he had no chance to play ball. When he returned to Chapel Hill in March he tipped, or rather rocked the scales at 240. Now he is back to 210 and in good playing shape. Starting Pivot Man Chan has been the starting center all season and is the bulwark of the Carolina line. Equally good as an of fensive ball snapper or at his de fensive position behind the line, High smith is once again rated as one of the best centers in the entire South. Draft boards don't recognize Mer chant Marine service and Chan has been sweating out the "greetings" telegram from the Army. After visit ing his local board last week, he was deferred for 60 days and the holidays, so hell be here to finish the season. If they decide 29 months is enough, Chan will be back next year to get his com merce degree and once again anchor Snavely's forward wall. Chan is an active Beta brother and a junior in the school of commerce. His marital status is single with no pros pects in sight. This writer's opinion is that when the season is all over and veteran coaches like his former teacher, Ray Wolf, now head coach at Florida, and the snorts writers pick their all-star teams, youH find Chan Highsmith's name on a lot of them.

The Blue Devils are not in good shape for the game. Clark, who turned in a sensational performance against Navy, may not be able to play. Fletch er Wall, regular center, and Louis Al len, regular tackle, are definitely out. If Clark is not ready, Hartley will fill his post with E. P. Bethune, rugged little reserve center from the 1942 team who did a fine job against Navy, replacing Wall and Big Harold Mul lins in Allen's job. The Spiders are reported to be in top conditions for the clash and a vic tory would put them in good shape to take the 1946 conference crown.
